In the common force-based design method prescribed in seismic codes, displacements of a structure under reduced seismic forces are amplified by a deflection amplification factor,Cd, to estimate inelastic displacements. The present study evaluatesCdfor steel buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs). For this purpose, six low-to mid-rise structures comprising 2- to 12-story BRBFs are considered, and nonlinear dynamic analyses are performed. Results indicate that the recommendedCdby ASCE 7 (i.e.,Cd= 5.0) underestimates the inelastic maximum interstory drift ratio (IMIDR) of lower stories in BRBFs under the design earthquake. Furthermore, estimation of IMIDR in upper stories of mid-rise structures usingCd= 5.0 leads to acceptable results. Therefore, by applying the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, a new equation is proposed forCdto more realistically estimate IMIDR in steel BRBFs under the design earthquake. In the case of roof displacement, the results show that for low-rise structures the recommended value ofCd= 5.0 significantly underestimates the inelastic maximum roof drift ratio (IMRDR). On the other hand, for taller structuresCd= 5.0 overestimates the IMRDR. Thus, another new equation is proposed using the PSO algorithm forCdRoofin order to better estimate the IMRDR. Moreover, effects of variation in strain hardening ratio onCdandCdRoofare investigated. In the last part of this study, variations of the ratios ofCdandCdRoofto response modification coefficient (R) with ductility reduction factor (Rμ) are investigated.
